Alia also rang in the 2019 New Year celebrations with Ranbir’s family, and the pictures of their gathering went viral on social media in no time. The entire gang seemed like one big happy family. The same year, while making an appearance at an awards ceremony, Ranbir and Alia openly proclaimed their love for each other.

Both Ranbir and Alia agreed to just "go with the feeling." "That's exactly what he did. He didn't tell anyone, he just carried the ring and he did it in the most amazing place because it's a place that we both have a strong connection with, which is Masai Mara. And in the middle of the jungle, it was just amazing," confessed Alia.
